Shack PSA: 50% Off Crysis Games, 75% Off Overlord Series and More Weekend PC Deals

21
If you've been aching to punch a giant panda in the face, then this is your weekend.

Alongside knocking half-off Crytek's gorgeous PC shooters Crysis and Crysis Warhead--making them $15 each--Steam is offering 75% off Triumph's humorous action-RPG franchise Overlord at 75%, bringing the complete bundle down to a mere $8.75.

Best of all, you won't have to go into those Overlord purchases blind, as demos for both Overlord and Overlord II can be found on FileShack and Steam.

Other weekend deals trying to separate you from your hard-earned cash include half-off Stardock's Demigod ($14.99) and assorted savings on indies:

Thanks to JediDwag, DscytheX and SilverSnake for tipping us off to some of the deals.

    Someone remind me - the Steam version of Crysis Warhead doesn't have SecuROM, correct? I know the retail version does, not so sure here.

      The Steam game page says it has both SecuROM and a 5-install/activation limit. You can use a separate EA utility to revoke activations.

        Do you have to actually do a specific program to revoke installs? When I've un-installed Far Cry 2 before, I just clicked delete game in Steam, and it automatically started the un-installer like if you had gone to add remove programs, or found the un-installer in the directory.

        So yeah, as long as your hard drive doesn't crash, or you forget to un-install before you format, you should be ok.

          I don't think you need a revoke tool if you uninstall the game. I've installed warhead on windows xp, windows 7 beta, windows 7 RC, and windows 7 RTM without using an additional tool and I can start the game up no problem.

      Steam version has SecuROM which is a shame, shame, shame.

        Damn! I thought EA games on Steam came without their retail DRM, guess I heard wrong.
